DELL 34XX User Manual

Parameter

Description

readOnly

This parameter sets the snapshot virtual disk to 
read-only. This parameter is actually a Boolean; 
however, in the context of this command, the 
Boolean value is always TRUE.

NOTE: With the readOnly parameter, 
snapshot virtual disks are not created.

Notes

You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for 
the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

The identifier of a snapshot image has two parts separated by a colon (:):

• The name of the snapshot group.
• The identifier of the snapshot image.

For example, if you want to create a read-only virtual disk named engData1 using the most recent 
snapshot image in a snapshot group that has the name snapGroup1, you would use this command:
create snapVirtualDisk userLabel="engData1" snapImageID="snapGroup1:newest" 

readOnly;
